Title. Lunar Eclipse tonight in a few hours or so @ where I am. Moon will turn red/orange colour as the Earth passes directly inbetween the Sun and the Moon!!

This is going to be live.

Anyone else going to be a skywatcher today/tomorrow (depending on where you live)?

JustInn14 · 2008-02-20, 19:43

I'm watching it right now! I can't wait until the moon turns weird red/brown colors!

Aoie_Emesai · 2008-02-20, 19:44

Oh dear. I wonder if i can see it where i live ^^. I'm gonna go check now ^^

hahah ^^ lucky me I got a front row seat for the Eclipse tonight. For who ever lives in a non tree covered area within the SouthEasten United States should be fine ^^

Oh dang lucky man.

I have a thing for this nature stuff, so I'm really hyped to see a TOTAL Lunar Eclipse, and this is the only one until 2010 so...

You know what I've always wanted to do? Go up north and camp in the snow (build a shelter), and watch the Aurora Borealis. That would be so sick.. Just need money and time~~

Anyways all the watchers, good luck and enjoy it. I'm chilling (pun) outside tonight with music and stuff

JustInn14 : Heh already huh... No fair

I've wanted to do that too. But I don't think i can bear the cold up north >.<

During the afternoon where I live it was snowing and I thought I wasn't going to be able to see it due to the clouds.

Luckily I got a nice view right outside a window next to me and the clouds have left.

I can't believe you people can go outside, lucky it's not below freezing where you are =/.

JustInn14 · 2008-02-20, 19:58

@ ApostleOfGod, The Totality part (where the moon turns weird colors) hasn't begun yet. I found this web page which might be helpful for you.

It's like -10 here right now I think, or even worse, so I'm in longsleeves, sweater, and a puffy jacket.

Just a pair of Dickies pants, but cold is something common in Canada's crazy weather pattern so I'm used to it by now

JustInn14: Thanks that's perfect, now I know when I have to go out (just went out and came back, disappointed :P). Meh I had to take my dog out to business anyway

Demoss · 2008-02-20, 20:31

Nooo!! Take a light nap and go out! The next Total eclipse is in 2 years

lol

And how are university Anime clubs like?

Thentus · 2008-02-20, 20:40

I can totally see two or three moons, is that just the window or is it happening right now? Still early.

JustInn14 · 2008-02-20, 20:43

So far, in my area, it's just beginning. The upper left part of the moon is shaded.

Thentus · 2008-02-20, 20:48

Same here and I can also see an outline of a third one.

JustInn14 · 2008-02-20, 20:53

Third one?! Must be a reflection. with glassses, and no glasses, I only see one!

Well its totally misty here anyway, cant see crap from my window

Well Genshiken (yeah lol) the one i go to is pretty good, though i'm the one usually bringing the anime to watch, seems no one else is bothered, we also watch films from time to time and play on consoles, mainly the PS2 and Wii.

Maybe it's just a little different view due to location?

White Manju Bun · 2008-02-20, 21:37

I just went outside and looked its about 3/4 of the way covered. Very cool to see!

Ya man I just got back from outside.

IT'S ALMOST FULLY COVERED. Red/Orange/Brown moon, here I come!

Izui Kohana · 2008-02-20, 21:44

Hehe (: I just saw it~ when I went to looked at it it was half eaten hehe ^^

IT looked really black/brown to me. I couldn't see the red tint much ~

JustInn14 · 2008-02-20, 21:56

It looks red/TAN colored to me now. It's awesome!

Side note. On the left of the Moon is the planet Saturn, and above the Moon is the star "Regulus". Just thought this would be neat to tell you guys!...
